Windows 7: Try, Try Again
Posted by Robyn on Jan 16, 2009 in Technology |
So as it turns out, in my haste to snag Windows 7 bits at the earliest possible moment, I ended up with a checked/debug build of the beta from my MSDN account. Now something called “debug” might sound good, but it’s not a fully compiled version of the operating system. In other words, my WIndows 7 install was probably unstable because it was designed to be. The debug builds help Microsoft pin down potential errors and eliminate them.
I am currently downloading the actual beta from MSDN, and plan to try again with it on my Aspire One netbook and MacBook Pro this weekend! I have heard good things about compatibility on both. If all goes well, I might even try it on my desktop again.
